When I Accepted You |
| You were poor |
| So that I might enjoy |
| The wealth of Your creation |
| You were punished |
| For all my mistakes |
| So I’d be declared not guilty |
| By association |
| You took all that I am heir to |
| And gave me all that belonged to You |
| What more could anyone do? |
| When I accepted You |
| I never realized |
| That I’d be accepted, too |
| It took awhile to see |
| That You bore God’s rejection |
| So He’d never turn away from me |
| I never knew |
| I would receive so much |
| When I accepted You |
| Accepted You |
| You met death |
| So that I might know life |
| And eternal restoration |
| You took on the world |
| So the likeness of God |
| Could be drawn upon my being |
| Like a blood relation |
| The deepest needs my lifetime through |
| Were all met on the cross by You |
| What more could anyone do? |
| When I accepted You |
| I never realized |
| That I’d be accepted, too |
| It took awhile to see |
| That You bore God’s rejection |
| So He’d never turn away from me |
| I never knew |
| I would receive so much |
| When I accepted You |
| When I accepted You |
| Oh, I never knew |
| I would receive so much |
| When I accepted You |
| Accepted You |
| Accepted You |
